Opening Stuff:
As I sit in this morn that's hot and dank. / I'm seeing a page that is quite blank. / And also empty is my mind. / Alas, alas. A Tid I fear I'll never find.
Hey, when there's nothing there you have to start somewhere. It happens every time Congress takes a break. Lying, stupidity and general all-around irresponsibility tend to vacate too. What's aTid's guy to do?
The ABC/Washington Post Poll among registered voters yesterday revealed some very interesting stuff. It was one of those, "If-the-elections-were-held-today" fantasy polls. Yet, still a good indicator of embryonic voter thinking. 47% said they would never vote for Obama. But, he's in good shape when compared to Sarah who sits there today with 64% saying they would never vote for her. In fact, in a match up between Palin and Bachman, Bachman wins 60% to 40%! Put some air in those bus tires Sarah. Without question, registered voters like the Mitt-ster above all others. The poll has Romney beating 0-Man 49% - 46%. All other Repubs are seen losing to the Great Mocker by 7 to 15 points. What does this all mean? Nothing! A big fat zero. It's 17 months away for crissake! The media would love nothng better than to dictate the republican race. Stay calm. Stay cool. And, keep the pressure on the Pols.
The Question:

Back to More Stuff:
Put Bernanke back to sleep. Please!
While the unemployment numbers get all of the ink,. I believe that the major systemic problem going forward is underemployment. The leveling waters of a world economy is slowly washing away an overpriced American job market that is based more on recent history rather than value reality.
Flabbergasted is being appalled at how much weight you have gained.
The continuing staggering of a sluggish economy, is possibly a result of the many still unanswered questions about LollaPelosi Health care. It is an ominous bill with so many clouds surrounding it that even actuaries can't figure where to go. Congress barely knew what they were writing at the time. Maybe even today they still don't know what they wrote.
The grand old factory in Woonsocket RI where they made the beloved "Keds" sneakers of yore burned down last night. Now, that should bring a tear to your eyes.
People were hoping that Tiger would return for the Open, but I'm enjoying the tournaments more without the the focus on one person. Lots of shots. Lots of players to get to know. I'm enjoying Luke Donald as a person and loving his swing as something to emulate.
SNL fans probably all have their favorite sketches and performers. Hey, laughter is a personal thing. But, in an effort to start an argument here is one man's Top 10 list of SNL's all time Hosts. Number 10 is Buck Henry. Counting down to one we have Drew Barrymore, Paul Simon, Christopher Walkin, Alec Baldwin, John Goodman, Justin Timberlake, Jack Hamm, Tom Hanks...and...and as number 1 all time best host -- Steve Martin.
Almost Near: Chapter 24. --Sparrow hung up the phone after talking to the hotel. The woman Samantha didn't show this morning as she had promised. The clerk said that she hadn't checked out yet. But, added, "She's the kind of good lookin' woman you remember when sittin' around a desk in a lobby waitn's for the next customer to complain." And he assured sparrow he hadn't seen her since the three days ago now when she left with a "cool lookin' guy in a fancy suit."
I knew there was something strange about that woman. I can tell when woman are strange, he laughed to himself. She was a beautiful woman in a clean scrubbed pleasant sort of a way. But, she looked like she didn't know something. Was searching for something. The phone rang. "Hi, Sparrow. Oh. Good. I'll be right there." He pulled himself up, put on his coat and yelled into the next room. "Skip, our vic is awakened. Let's go to the hospital." The young patrolman came running. He was alittle too excited for Sparrow, but he always liekd having another pair of ears.
"So, what da ya think. Thing the fancy guy is a hitman?" Sparrow glared. Skip turned his head.
"Drive".
"I'll tell you this, Skip. The Hotel clerk said he thought she really was happy to see Mr's Cool. And, he thought that Mr. Cool looked at her like a he was more than a friend or a business associate. But, we know he was her lawyer...or at least a lawyer. So maybe she was hiding something when we talked. Maybe she called him after I started asking questions. Maybe she isn't so dumb after all. What do you remember about the death of the Wilcoxes?"
